Cruzio hosted local dignitaries May 31st to help us celebrate the lighting of Cruzio’s new fiber Internet at our downtown headquarters. We were lucky enough to even have the day proclaimed “Fiber Internet Day” in the City of Santa Cruz.

Do you know TED? TED is an internationally recognized conference with the theme “ideas worth spreading.” And now, TED is coming to Santa Cruz.
The main event is sold out, but Cruzio is proud to host a livestream of Santa Cruz’s own TEDx this Saturday, June 11 from 9am-5pm. Won’t you join us? Admission is free, but space is limited.
People we saw at the Techraising.
Everyone was pretty energized, even after a couple of late nights. I’m not good with names so I won’t even try to attribute all the photos… just the first few.
First up are the awesome organizers. (Lots more info about the techraising on TechRaising.com ).
Margaret Rosas, Andrew Mueller and Matthew Swinnerton are the forces behind the Techraising on May 20-22. We were lucky to have it at Cruzioworks, it was a blast.
It started with a line of people waiting to pitch their startup ideas.About 30 people had about 35 ideas (some got so enthusiastic they pitched more than one).
The ideas ranged from a new type of shell for pickup trucks to a video game that lets you create a wall from something you photograph — then shoot the wall to bits. (“Very satisfying” commented the presenter).
Last Friday Cruzio put on the ritz. Fiber Night!
In the context of the Internet, “fiber” is the way we transport data from one place to another — really, really fast. With lasers.
To celebrate Cruzio’s new fiber connection to the Internet, we held a big party. With lasers.
People enjoyed our fantastic coworking space, opened up to the public for the evening.
The fiber connection is the beginning of our new independent high-speed network.
We are now offering connections at 100+Mbps — even connections over a gigabit per second! And we’ll soon be revamping our lower-cost services too (we’re looking at late summer for an unveiling).
Come celebrate Cruzio’s new fiberoptic connection at a party!:

At Cruzio’s new building, 877 Cedar Street, we now have electrical charging stations thanks to our neighbor Ecology Action. Now there is a place to charge your electric vehicle, right in downtown Santa Cruz.
Don’t yet have an electric car? Have a look at this gorgeous Tesla:
What a wet and wild week it’s been. Yesterday’s storms did tremendous damage throughout the county, taking out roads and trees and, for a short period, Cruzio’s email, phone and web servers. With limited power supply, we focused our energies on our customers’ services over our own internal systems and communication tools. Now those services are restored, we wanted to check in and let you know what happened here, and what we’re doing about it.

Cruzioworks never looked so gorgeous as when the First Friday digital artists (from DANM) set up their pieces. Music hummed, lights flashed, wine and canapes were consumed… and best of all, we all experienced the place anew alive with art.
Some photos:
On Valentine’s Day 2011, Cruzio had a visit from two talented first graders, Garritt and Zak, from Gateway School.
They also brought homemade Valentine cookies, which were delicious. Here are the cards they brought. Thank you Garrit and Zak!
